Knit dungarees are popular for a few reasons. Firstly, they are versatile and can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for any occasion. Secondly, they are comfortable and easy to move in, which is important for babies who are constantly on the go. Thirdly, they are great for layering in cold weather.

When it comes to layering in cold weather, knit dungarees are an excellent choice because they provide an extra layer of warmth without adding bulk. They can be worn over a onesie or a long-sleeve bodysuit to keep your baby warm and cozy, while still allowing them to move freely. Additionally, knit dungarees are made from soft and breathable materials, which helps to keep your baby comfortable and prevents overheating.

Another great feature of knit dungarees is that they can be easily layered over pants or leggings, which can be removed as the day warms up. This makes them a great option for parents who want to ensure their baby stays warm, but also want the flexibility to adapt to changing weather conditions.

Stitch dictionaries are a fun way to learn new-to-you knitting stitch patterns or to take a deep dive into a particular technique. Debbie Tomkies offers 100 cable stitch designs and thoughts on how to incorporate them into projects in her Cable Knitting Stitch Dictionary.

Each stitch pattern is shown in a large swatch photo and with written and charted instructions. Any special stitches are included on the page. The stitches are rated on a difficulty scale of 1 to 3, and the pattern notes also indicate how many extra stitches you should add to a project if you’re going to work this cable (since cables pull the fabric closer together you need to compensate for that) as well as how many stitches and rows are in the repeat if you want to design a project yourself.

The cables are arranged into sections: classic cables, combinations, all-over panels, creative cables, motifs and panels and cabled edges and borders.

It’s fun to flip through the designs to think about projects you can add a single cable or two to or make with an allover cabled design. Or you could make swatches of different cables and sew them together into a pillow cover or a throw.

At the back of the book there’s a section on general cable knitting techniques, reading charts, working swatches and avoiding errors (though it mentions working the wrong number of rows between cable turns, it doesn’t share how to count rows between cables to avoid this mistake).

It also talks about how to design your own cables, combine cables in a project, choose the right yarn and needles and determine how many more stitches you need to cast on when working cables instead of stockinette stitch. There’s also a glossary of symbols and abbreviations you may find in cable knitting and other patterns.

The book provides a good overview of things you can do with cables, as well as some fun things you might not have tried like infinity cables and horizontal cables. It’s a great book for a designer who likes to work with cables or a knitter who wants to play with different stitches in their projects.

About the book: 176 pages, paperback, 100 stitch patterns. Published 2024 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $26.99.
